1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Lumex LF2020 Easy Lift Sit-to-Stand (STS) /
LF2090 Bariatric Easy Lift Sit-to-Stand (STS). The following pages will provide you with important
safety and operating instructions on the use of patient lifts, slings, and accessories, as well as
maintenance and warranty information. Read this manual carefully before operating your patient
lift and refer to it as often as needed. Consult your authorized distributor and/or healthcare
professional with any questions or concerns regarding safe and effective techniques for operating
your patient lift.
DO NOT attempt any transfer without prior approval of the patient’s healthcare provider. With
their assistance, select the sling that best serves the needs, abilities, comfort and safety of the
person being lifted. It is important that you use correct slings adapted to the body shape and
weight and ability of the patient and the specic type of transfer needed.
Upon receipt of the patient lift, and prior to each use, inspect it closely to ensure that nothing
is damaged, there are no loose or broken parts, that all patient lift parts are in the proper place,
etc. Immediately replace any worn or broken components. Your patient lift should receive
maintenance on a regular schedule and should be inspected daily for proper operation. Contact
GF Technical Support at 1.770.368.4700 with any maintenance concerns.
Before lifting anyone, thoroughly read the instructions in this manual. Ideally, observe a team of
trained experts performing the lifting procedures. The operator should then practice the entire
lifting procedure several times with proper supervision and with a capable individual acting as
patient. It is extremely important to know how a patient will feel in the patient lift. We suggest that
the operator try all the various lifting slings and equipment until the operator is condent with
how the patient lift operates. The lifting procedures should be explained to the patient before the
actual lifting. Remember that safety requires the constant attention of the lift occupant and the
operator. Use extreme care and common sense when operating a patient lift.
This guide covers the use of the LF2020 Easy Lift STS / LF2090 Bariatric Easy Lift STS. Keep in mind
that the basic safety procedures included in this manual are to be used as a guide only. You may nd it
necessary to develop your own unique methods for safely utilizing the patient lift. Again, consult your
healthcare professionals for their recommendations and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.
Info: Before attempting to assemble the patient lift, refer to the section titled “ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS” contained elsewhere in this manual. Contact GF Tech Support at
1.770.368.4700 or your GF authorized distributor if additional assistance is needed.
Info: In this manual, the person being lifted is referred to as the “patient” or “occupant” and
the person operating the patient lift is called the “operator” or “attendant”.

7 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your Lumex LF2020 Easy Lift STS / LF2090
Bariatric Easy Lift STS in a safe operating condition. In addition to inspecting the unit before each
use, periodic maintenance checks should be done.
WARNING:
It is extremely important that the patient lift be inspected before each use. Ensure that all
hardware and accessories are secure and that the actuator is functioning properly. Failure to do so could
result in patient / attendant injury or damage to your patient lift. Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can
fail, resulting in serious injury. Only use slings in good condition. Inspect before each use. Destroy and
discard old worn and unusable slings.
WARNING: Service and repair of the Lumex LF2020 Easy Lift STS / LF2090 Bariatric Easy
Lift STS MUST be performed by qualied personnel ONLY.
WARNING: Unauthorized modication of the patient lift or the use of non-Lumex replacement parts may
change the structure of the lift and could create a hazardous condition, which may result in serious
injury and will void the warranty.
WARNING: The electronics and actuator contain no serviceable components. DO NOT
attempt to open the electronics or actuator. If service is required, consult GF Tech Support
at 1.770.368.4700 for further information.
When you believe a component or part is not functioning properly, immediately contact GF Tech
Support at 1.770.368.4700, as a potentially hazardous condition could exist.
BEFORE EACH USE
Before each use of the patient lift, ensure that:
• All nuts and bolts are tight
• The lift moves freely (with caster brakes off)
• Rear caster brakes operate properly
• Base adjustment mechanism operates easily
• All necessary items (i.e. slings, wheelchairs, etc.) are accessible and ready for use
• Battery capacity is adequate
AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH
The lift should be thoroughly inspected by a person qualied to recognize any signs of wear, and
looseness of bolts or parts. Replace any worn parts immediately.
LUBRICATION
When the lift is serviced, and every month thereafter, place a drop of lubricant (White Lithium
Grease is recommended) on the following points:
• The point where mast and boom connect
• Caster axles
• The point where actuator and boom connect
CLEANING
Regular cleaning is recommended every three months; clean the lift more often as needed. A soft
cloth, dampened with water and a mild NON-ABRASIVE detergent (household cleaner, soapy water, or
hospital grade disinfectant) is all that is needed to clean your patient lift. Automobile wax or furniture
polish will help maintain the nish over a long period of time.
s NOTICE: DO NOT wash patient lift under water pressure or steam clean.
